Storage and Filing Systems

It is important when creating an office workspace to have an organised storage space where everything is easy to find. If you have a lot of paperwork to be filed there are two kinds of filing cabinets to choose between- vertical or lateral. The decision on these filing cabinets often depends on the kind of space you have available. If you have limited floor space, vertical filing cabinets are the better option, arranging documents in drawers from top to bottom. Meanwhile, if floor space is not a concern, lateral filing cabinets have wider drawers with that pull out and let you file from side to side.
Mobile units are some of our most popular products. The mobile pedestal is traditionally designed to slide in under a desk or to side and beside desks. Some offices only need a little filing, or some employees need to have certain files always on hand. This is where you may want to consider a mobile pedestal.
Storage cupboards can also be used as a place to store your office stationary and other supplies, and are available in locking varieties. If you need the extra storage closet space, but don’t have the space for wide open doors in the room where the cupboard will be placed, we have tambour door cupboards. Instead of doors opening outward, they slide into internal cabins on the unit sides, allowing for this storage option even in the tightest of office spaces.

Keeping your office organised

Having the right storage and filing options allow your workforce to easily find the things they need, to allow them to be more productive in the workday. In order to find files and notes quickly, without having everything strewn across the desk, every piece of paper should have somewhere to be filed. Whether filed according to project, client, or with the calendar method, every new piece of information should be stored away- even if it’s on a pinboard! The key to keeping an orderly office is put things away immediately after using it.
The most difficult type of paper to organize is an item that you need to see again in the near future that doesn’t require any immediate action. The answer is a tickler file, which is a rotating calendar for paper that you access each day. You use 43 hanging files, 31 labelled for a day of the month and 12 labelled with the months. You hang it in your file drawer like a calendar, with the current month first and the current day next.
